3-Dimensional Flow Measurements In Square Coaxial Jets, Thomas Lagarde Jan 2005

3-Dimensional Flow Measurements In Square Coaxial Jets, Thomas Lagarde

LSU Master's Theses

Results from un-forced experiments conducted in the three-dimensional flow emanating from coaxial contoured nozzles with square cross section and parallel sides are presented and discussed. Two experiments were conducted with the inner to outer jet nominal velocity ratio equal to l=0.5 and l=1.5. The Reynolds number of the outer jet based on the hydraulic diameter of the outer nozzle exit was in both cases 16,000. A multi-position hot-wire anemometry method was used for measurements in the three-dimensional turbulent flow using a dual film sensor (X-probe). A methodology was developed and implemented to derive the mean-velocity components and Reynolds stresses corrected …
